Bringing plankton discovery inland with the Curiosity microscope

The Curiosity microscope and Lamprey are two invaluable tools used by BIOcean5D to harness the immense potential of citizen science, improve ocean literacy, engage and empower the general public and increase awareness of the immense challenges facing our Ocean. Discover the Curiosity microscope here, followed by the Lamprey next week!
